Thanks WJ! I thought it was kinda cool when I started messing around with them and realized it! I really haven't paid attention to Combiner Wars stuff so I'm coming at these things with a fresh take almost 2 years after they first showed up mould wise. Very cool stuff so far, Deceptions are where it's at!

Thinkin of you

I'll take that blame Doc, you held out on the light piping until the very end!!

So it's been a few days since I've posted some images!! Some of you may have seen these before. Hooray friends!!

So last week I was lucky enough to have Friday off (which was the start of my 4 day weekend!) so I went on the hunt with my baby girl in tow. She had a blast running around TRU (well, all the stores really)! We stopped at Ollie's, Target, Toys R Us, Marshall's, Ross. Here's the local TRU TF display..


That picture was taken before I re-organized most of the things and made it pretty ('cause I'm that guy sometimes, or I care way too much about how the Transformers brand looks ). Should've taken a picture of the after. Lots of cool stuff, no sales though and there was no way I was paying $23 a piece for Brawl and Swindle (the only figures I really wanted that day). I did notice some cubes that apparently had mini Transformers in them..while organizing things I picked three..(shout out to Ironhidensh, DASHBOAAAAAARD!!)


So who were those threeeeeeee? Why, the best ones of course!!


I have the regrets for not buying all of them (which they definitely had). They are currently on my desk right now staring at me typing, while plotting and scheming!! I can't get Megatron to stand on his own to save my life though. I'm sure if I floor polish his hips he'll be fine. I should actually floor polish all of them, but I don't want that to screw up the "quick change" action. REGARDLESS!! They are effing adorable and amazing all at the same time!! Highly recommended!!

A few days ago, I grabbed a few bots out of the attic bin when I was switching things around on the display and just cleaning up overall. TFCC Depth Charge and TFCC Rampage were the lucky two. To my knowledge, I've never transformed either from robot to alt mode and I can't remember if they came in bot mode in their generic cardboard box with foam insert from the TFCC. So I decided to give it a shot.

Depth Charge first. This is just winging it for both transformations, not looking at instructions or even pictures. When I'm lazily transforming something, I'm ultra lazy about it.


Holy cats that is one awesome jet!! SO AWESOME that I'm VERY CLOSE to ordering a DotM Space Case and a carded G2 Space Case!! Seriously. We need more jetformers that turn in to that awesome of a jet. He's in the office now too!

Next up was Rampage. He reminded me of the classic videogame of the same name, as I just wanted to smash buildings.


Since he doesn't really have a linear design (and why would a alien spaceship look like anything normal?!) and due to fatigue (late in the evening) I left him as that pile of nonsensical nonsense. I'm gonna have to look at an alt mode pic and then everything will line up. And I'm probably pretty close as it is already. Someone done goofed up, he's not Scourge!! His head shouldn't be out like that in alt mode!!

Moving on, over the last few days I've been taking random shots of my to scramble combiners with various weaponry trying to get them to be cooler and stuff. Since Liokaiser fights Star Saber, why not GIVE HIM actual Star Sabers?!


Devastator being Devastator.


A Heavy Metal War shot..


Here's my three Combiner Wars combiners.


Here's G2asor, in the only configuration I can get Blackjack to stay in position.


Then I finally powered up the gestalts!!


All weapons are attached. I realized that G2asor has some extra paint on places or parts that make things hard to connect in certain places, which is why he ended up the way he did. That sword config for Liokaiser is where it's at!! The "tail blades" form really nice with that arms micron dealie!!

I also tend to tidy up the TF section but not because I want it to look good. Normally there is stuff on pegs that should be empty. I figure if I empty those pegs and put thing where they belong then maybe just maybe on a long shot the store will order more. Hasn't helped yet and normally those empty pegs are stuffed full with some other brand the next time I go back, but hey I guess I'm the ever optimist prime.

Great pics even the second time around

If you haven't heard you'll be scrambling a few new recruits soon, but let the others keep guessing on which ones

You know, that's the main reason behind me doing that, I want them to order the missing product or re-stock what they have!! It actually helped at the local Walmart when I was there a few weeks ago, a whole bunch of stuff was on TF pegs and someone was walking by with a Telxon. I moved the stuff around and they scanned the missing!! Now they have 6 voyager Galvatrons

When the lighting is good, it's a very nice and stable platform!! Especially if you have the TF:TM soundtrack playing

I'm super jelly of that Liokaiser. Man, looks like work is a lot of fun for you in regards to desk toys!

Liokaiser is one of my favorites now, especially when using the tank bots as actual feet!! Errybody knows the G1 Liokaiser had all the combiner stuff built in (with the exception of his helmet) right? I'd still reaaaaaaaally like to have some upgraded feets and hands though, cause why not. Just worried about color matching I guess, specifically on G2asor. Now I actually really want MP Star Saber now JUST to have him face off with Liokaiser! I guess I'll wait for another sale at BBTS, don't wanna chance it on a KO if I don't have to.

Hmmmmm... Color matching Lio wit some hands and feets

Well dem KO PE sets are great, but won't really match. I'd say go grey, but you need black hands. Him one of each and mix and match. Dem struggles yo!

Honestly I like that nubbin footie thing you got going on and that free

Yeah the black hands isn't a problem, it's the light gray/white that would be the issue. The built in IS free, but he could ALWAYS be more dynamic

OG Menasor hands + Superion feet = Desired effect?

Possibly!
